Sepultura - Slaves of Pain (song)
“Slaves of Pain” is the sixth song on the thrash masterpiece “Beneath the Remains” by Sepultura. In my personal and humble opinion, this is the best song on the entire album. This song alone showcases almost everything Sepultura has to offer at that point and time in their career. …

Heathen Chemistry, 2002 Album by Oasis
This album has a weird title, and God knows this is a rather bad one. I like Oasis a lot. I love their first three records. And I love the singing of Liam Gallagher. Liam is a very gifted singer. His voice is a gift from above. But this …
Hail to the Thief, 2003 Album by Radiohead
Hail to the Thief is a really good record. I personally see this album as a return to form for Radiohead after some slightly dodgy albums, like Kid A and Amnesiac, in particular Amnesiac. The problem with those two albums, from my personal point of view, is that, when …
You’re In My Heart by Rod Stewart

Lip gloss by Lil Mamma

Green Day - Welcome To Paradise (Song)
Welcome To Paradise, one of Green Day’s most well known songs is a track which appears on Dookie. Aside from the tracks which are on American Idiot then I’d actually probably say that Welcome To Paradise, or Longview, would be the most well known Green Day song, and with …

Sonic Nurse, 2004 Album by Sonic Youth

Are We The Waiting is a track which follows in a similar mood as Boulevard Of Broken Dreams as it’s a significantly slower track which has slightly a darker tone to it, although to no real extreme. Ironically this is also the first track on American Idiot which didn’t …

The Beatles - Birthday (Song)
Birthday is a song by The Beatles which opens side three, or disc two, of their famous self-titled record, otherwise known as The White Album. If I had to describe Birthday very quickly, I’d say it’s a pretty traditional rock song which reminds me of The Beatles’ earlier records, …
Song : Speechless by Lady Gaga
“Speechless” by Lady Gaga is probably one of my favorite songs by her for the simple fact it justifies her fame more than anything else she’s recorded. Don’t get me wrong. I love pretty much all her songs but I think Speechless shows off how good her voice …

Fender Frontman 25R Practice Amp Guitar
